Kaufman (disambiguation) → Kaufman – MrKeefeJohn (talk) 19:21, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy move per WP:MALPLACED, otherwise restore the redirect, however the entire Kaufmann article (which has multiple spellings) doesn't get significantly more views than the 2 US places,[[1]] however US places are referred often with the state being part of the name so its not clear, though I don't think there is a clear PT.

Speedy move as above. I note we have the redirect Kaufman (surname) but not Kauffman (surname), Kauffman (surname) nor Kauffmann (surname). 89.147.70.233 (talk) 05:54, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. We have Kauﬀman (disambiguation) with the ligature "ﬀ" to the surname article, but not Kaufmann (disambiguation) with the surname article's actual spelling (nor any other "(disambiguation)" form. We have Kauﬀman with the ligature, too. 89.147.70.233 (talk) 06:15, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I've been disambiguating articles' links to Kauffman (or redirects to it). On the way I notice that, for the Dutch cognate, we have Kofman and Koffman even though each has only three entries, and it was split out in 2016 with those few entries. I guess consensus is against splitting out the far more numerous names with variant spellings here? I can see the reasoning behind that: people might not know how to spell it, but know something is a surname or not. 89.147.70.233 (talk) 08:08, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
